Then the work. Of removing the valu-

express wagon standing on the side of
the street, and slowly the precious load
the wagon was to carry was passed along
the line. First came pile of insurance
papers without which it would be next

They were slightly dampened by water.
The receipts of the days business trans
acted before the fire broke out were
next lit upon. There were several tin
boxes full of paper, gold aud silver

thousand dollars, although the paper

wagon and its precious load, under

rary quarters, where the books, papers
and money were spread out in a we'll
heated room to dry, and afterward sent
to the bank.
"We knew there was something val

walls, land on the night Of the fire we
just soaked the whole affair pretty
thoroughly, the water seeping through
the bricks at the top. If we hadn't lit
